As Elizabeth's governess and close confidante, Ashley played a crucial role in shaping the young princess's education and character. While lesser-known in the annals of history, her influence on the Tudor court, especially on Elizabeth, cannot be understated. Under Ashley's guidance, Elizabeth received an exceptional education for women of the time, studying subjects like Latin, Greek, and the sciences.
